Yarra Glen 13.8.86 def Seville 10.18.78

Well what a game this was, certainly a game of two halves.Seville jumped out of the gates with a 1st qtr that should have seen more goals, but they kicked 3.7 to 1.2 and took the lead at qtr time by 17 points.They bombarded the goals in the 2nd with 9 scoring shots to Yarra Glen’s 2 and increased their lead to 34 points.The first half of footy was not pretty from either side and if Seville had capitalised in front of goal this game would have been all over bar the shouting.1 goal to half time to Yarra Glen is not impressive but 14 behinds from Seville and most of them from set shots is not good footy either.Yarra Glen turned up the tempo in the 3rd kicking 5 goals straight to Seville’s 3.2 and the game was still in Seville’s favour by 24 points.The last qtr was exciting for both team’s spectators but in the end, it was Yarra Glen that stormed home booting 7.4 to 2.2 to come home with a win by 8 points.Yarra Glen Best: A.
